In re the Estate of Merseles

Slater, S.

This is a construction proceeding in which the exercise of the power of appointment is questioned,

The will of Theodore F. Merseles gives the residuary estate to trustees upon express trusts, one-half thereof to be held for the widow’s life. Upon her death such portion is to be divided into two equal parts and “ one of such parts shall be added to and become a part of each of the separate trusts hereby created for the benefit of each of my sons hereinafter named.” One-quarter of the residuary estate is to be invested for the benefit of the son, Herbert E. Merseles, for his life. “…
